Invalid syntax for new password ‑ none set

Reason

When you entered the system, you specified a new password but the new password does not meet CA ACF2 for z/VM password syntax requirements. Because CA ACF2 for z/VM did not require a new password (the present password has not expired), it ignored the new password and allowed access. In the future, you must still specify the old password until a new password is successfully processed. A valid CA ACF2 for z/VM password contains only standard ANSI characters (A‑Z, 0‑9, @, #, and $). You cannot use blanks. If you use the # and @ characters in your password, during logon you must precede these characters in your password with the escape character (“).

Action

Specify the new password with ANSI characters the next time you log on.
